Winter Truck Camping With My Dog

Another great night truck camping with Blue! She's had some problems with her back over the past year so she hasn't been out as much so I'm glad the truck camper gives us a chance to get out and do what we love together!
Also for anyone interested here's a link to the Knife I was talking about, it might make a great little stocking stuffer! amzn.to/3IoNGDW

That dog is a real cutie. She is very lucky too, as he gives her extra care. Great vid!

[@fire58372001]

Hi there, I saw your vid. I've been truck camping since the mid 80's. Here's what I've learned & I'll pass them on to you. 1) Get stuff you need at a camping store for backpacking. It's small, compact, & light weight. 2)Get splash guards for your truck. It'll help keep you & your rig clean. They work. I know. 3) When parking for the night, park headlong into the wind. That way if a storm comes you won't have to worry about a side wind ripping off your camper shell. Plus, if anything comes bouncing towards the truck, since you have a slimmer profile, it might miss you. If it does hit, the front of the truck is reinforced. 4) Use bug spray on the interior doors & windows/ screens openings to help keep bugs out. Use wasp & hornet spray around & on your tires to help keep critters out. Basically, all points of contact on the ground. 5) An inch is a lot of room. Learn how to stack & get used to sand & dirt. Use floor mats to put your shoes on too 6)Air out your sleeping area every morning or often. In an enclosed space the air gets stale. 7)Use a small fan to circulate the air in your sleeping area. This will help prevent hot & cold spots from forming & help prevent condensation & mold & mildew from forming. 8)Use a solid hooded sweatshirt. Draw the hood tight when you sleep to help encapsulate body heat. It can double as a pillow/ dirty clothes holder/ gear carrier etc. I hope this helps. Great vid, thanks for sharing. Drive safe. 🤠

Have not even watched it yet and already gave it a Thumbs Up !

[@michaellatham9737]

I just lost my lab a week ago. Seeing this video is what i always wanted to do w her so thank you for this!

[@mham83]

@Forest brothers pretty poor taste spamming other peoples videos just to promote your own, don’t you think?

[@jaymccuin4665]

Nothing like the love of a dog, and love for a dog. Looked like great times and I know Blue loved it.

[@Hound27]

I love the way you love your dog I love anybody that love and take care of the animals

[@snupi5058]

In every new video, Robert inspires me more and more to become like him. My typical clerk routine is sorely lacking such free and courageous leisure. Thanks to Robert for continuing to push my boundaries!

[@BrooksandBirches]

Thanks buddy!! I was in the same boat a few years ago and just decided I needed to make a real commitment to being outside more and thankfully it has worked out for me!

[@snupi5058]

@@BrooksandBirches Thank you very much!

[@amazingtamilgamingamazingt9653]

Snupi your dog is very cute ♥

[@gcimon8659]

The attention he shows his dog love it

[@lucyfere904]

The dog loves strenuos activities like this and also very loyal helper and guard to his master. My dog was able to carry stuff with his back when I am walking in the woods.

[@leolldankology]

You should get your dog a doggie sweater or coat for the winter. 13:34 I picked up a small 1/2 gallon garden sprayer that I use for cleaning, washing hands, extinguishing camp fires, etc.

[@paulherman4215]

A great video. Now you are being yourself. I love your interaction with Blue. I seriously enjoy seeing Blue get a good amount of venison. Looks like more good times. Thank you Rob for the video. Stay healthy and safe

[@CoyoteSticksbyWILEY]

Hey Rob - "How's it goin?" It was nice to see Blue out on this trip. Hope her back gets better. She looked like she was glad to be out in nature. Blue is a beautiful lady and really seems bonded with you. Thank you for sharing this little adventure. Take Care, Randy in Arizona.

[@janemerrill5675]

Love your dog. Lucky man and dog. Thanks for sharing

[@929cbr_rr]

What a beautiful pittie. Ha, my Schipperke dog likes to snuggle under the covers too when it's cool.

[@hd3873]

I see a guy enjoying the outdoors and loving his dog. You got yourself a subscriber sir

[@contentdeleted1063]

9:29 anyone notice In the background a little history is revealed there’s stacked up rocks that probably reveals a very old building.

[@HORALE714]

What a sweet pup!

[@dorothydickson232]

I THINK I'D HEAT UP SOME ROCKS AND TAKE THEM INSIDE TO HELP KEEP WARM IF YOU HAD TO TURN HEATER OFF FOR SAFETY

Good morning Rob & Blue, a very nice spot to spend time at, the wind - running water and good company. Blue is a very good looking Staffy, beautiful colours, that obvious brood chest & astute awareness of different sounds. Travel well & cheers for a good trip.

[@BrooksandBirches]

Thanks Hipa! She loves being outside although she gets bored when there's no critters to chase after but either way its nice to be able to get her out again

[@stacyschneider7316]

Thank you for sharing I really appreciate it. Your dog is so Beautiful. Take care of each other thank you

[@BrooksandBirches]

You are so kind Stacy! Thanks For checking out the video, I'll tell blue you say hi!

[@Cgny]

My pit bull goes on all sorts of adventures with me as well in the Adirondacks. Hope to start truck camping soon

[@Miguel_ON65]

Nice trip with a good company. Congratulations Rob. You are lucky to have so good gear to do it. I hope sincerely that you enjoy it. A big hug from Spain.

[@CavemanOutdoorsMissouri]

Loved it. I love being in the woods with my pup Sheba. We've backpacked a lot of miles together

[@kawythowy867]

What a great pup

[@gravelsasquatch6430]

Such a beautiful and serene spot for a night out with the puppers. Give Blue some behind the ear scratches and belly rubs for me. Thanks again for sharing your adventures with all of us. Cheers from Western Kentucky

Great video, beautiful dog. Thanks!

Thanks brother for your time to entertain us, truck camping can be less stressful sometimes right👍👍

[@ddasd3281]

Great show. Love the outdoors, the water. Love the dog

[@xbrianx1990]

Typical Pittie, shreds stick, takes food softly, loves blankets and affection!

[@davidharding3647]

Great video as usual! Awesome truck set-up. Your videos are so calming. I love how you just allow us to accompany you and don't feel that you need to talk the whole time. I love watching you cook etc.

[@albrighttopover]

This remains my at John Steinbecks 'A search for Amerika', where he travel with his dog Charlie long time in campertruck. Me and my female dog 'Bella' will do travelling to the Alp-Mountains near by Berchtesgaden to hiking over it to Austria nearly one wear, it will be a plasure for us.

[@NYFB69]

I judge people by the way they are with their dogs and from what I can see you treat her very well, not bringing her out when it’s so cold drying her off and just the way you two are together, you’re a good man Robert, keep the great videos coming I love watching your stuff.

[@debbieray8265]

Looks like so much fun. Your best friend is beautiful!

[@cleoharper1842]

This is what I get for napping in the afternoon. I totally missed it! Blue's looking healthy and adorable. I missed her sweet little face! And I LOVE that spot. I think it's my favorite. This feels like deja vu. Have you been there before? My mother eats those nasty bel-vita pseudo-health cookies. What's wrong with you?? At least *you* know how to deglaze a pan. I cannot convince her to do it.

[@user-lc3gw1ff8c]

good boys

You Rock, but the dog steals the show ! ❤️🏆🏆🏆🇺🇸👍 🎥

What a gorgeous sweet dog. Loved your steaks. See you again.

[@nessilian]

Oh, I didn`t realise how easy Blue freezes. When you were wiping her dry, she was shaking...I have a German Shepherd and they are basically immune to everything - just don`t be bothered by their shed :)

[@BrooksandBirches]

Haha oh man I bet the shedding is crazy! I grew up with Labs and they shed a lot too, good thing is blue doesn't shed so bad but the bad thing is she does get cold

I know I’m a few months late on your video. Question I have is do you ever have problems with your mattress foam pad getting stiff in the colder months? I currently camp in the back seat of my truck but would like to eventually build out the bed of the truck. Your system looks Like what I’m looking for.

[@jamesla1015]

Nice video fella, what's your staffys name?

[@Chilly_Billy]

Terrific videography, as always. Have you ever tried the Kelly Kettle? I've been thinking about adding one to my gear but would appreciate an unbiased opinion, if you have experience with one.

I have one...best cooker/water heater out there. Durable and efficient. It surprises me how few campers Dont know or use it. Best bundle buy out there IMO
